The determination of inventory under the LIFO method can be made only at the end
of each fiscal year based on the inventory levels and costs at that time.
Accordingly, interim LIFO calculations must necessarily be based on the
Company's estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs.  Since
these estimates are subject to many forces beyond the Company's control, interim
results could possibly be affected by the final year-end LIFO inventory
valuation.

NET INCOME PER COMMON SHARE:

Primary net income per common share is based on net income adjusted for
preferred stock dividends and related tax benefits divided by the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding after giving effect to stock options
as common stock equivalents.  Fully diluted net income per common share assumes
conversion of the ESOP convertible preferred stock into common stock at the date
of issuance.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement 128,
Earnings per Share, which will be implemented in the fourth quarter of 1997.
Primary earnings per share will be replaced with basic earnings per share and
fully diluted earnings per share will be renamed diluted earnings per share,
neither of which will be significantly different than previously reported
primary and fully diluted earnings per share.  All previously reported amounts
will be restated.

SECOND QUARTER OF 1997 COMPARED WITH THE SECOND QUARTER OF 1996

Second quarter sales increased $30.7 million or 20% from the prior year second
quarter.  The sales increase is primarily the result of the growing acceptance
of the Company's engineered lumber products as a substitute for commodity
solid-sawn lumber.

Second quarter sales increased despite a relatively flat housing market.  
North American housing starts in the second quarter of 1997 were up 1% from 
the prior year second quarter. Prices for competing wide-dimension lumber 
were slightly above year ago prices early in the quarter, falling to year ago 
prices by mid-quarter and trending sideways through the remainder of the 
quarter.  Continued product acceptance aided in the continuing conversion of 
builders to engineered lumber from traditional commodity lumber products.

Unit volume sales growth accounted for virtually all the sales increase for 
the second quarter of 1997.  Volume gains were strongest in the Company's 
TJI-Registered Trademark- Joist products.  The Company's new technology 
TimberStrand-Registered Trademark- LSL and Parallam-Registered Trademark- PSL 
products delivered the largest percentage growth for the quarter.  In 
particular, new products, such as the TimberStrand-Registered Trademark; 
components for the Japanese manufactured housing market, Light-Duty Header 
products and the Parallam-Registered Trademark-Commercial Beam, joined 
existing new technology products (e.g., TimberStrand-Registered Trademark- 
Rim Board, window and door parts, furniture components) in achieving these 
significant volume increases.(3)

Gross margins for the second quarter were 27.5% compared with 25.5% in the
second quarter of 1996. The margin gains were primarily the result of lower


<PAGE>

raw material costs for oriented strand board which is a significant component of
the Company's TJI-Registered Trademark--joist product line.  Also, the higher
sales volumes resulted in more efficient production at the Company's
manufacturing facilities.

Margin improvement also was a result of better performance at the Company's two
most recent new technology plant additions.  The Company's new combination
Microllam-Registered Trademark- LVL and Parallam-Registered Trademark- PSL plant
in Buckhannon, West Virginia has made significant cost reductions since the
second quarter of 1996 and is currently the Company's low cost producer of
Microllam-Registered Trademark- laminated veneer lumber and Parallam-Registered
Trademark- parallel strand lumber.  The TimberStrand-Registered Trademark- LSL
plant in Eastern Kentucky also had improved results over the second quarter of
last year and delivered break-even results at the gross margin line in the
second quarter of 1997.

Selling expenses increased $2.2 million in the second quarter of 1997, compared
to the prior year.  This increase is largely due to variable selling expenses
and commissions. Additionally, the Company continues to invest in developing and
bringing new and innovative products to the marketplace and to fund operating
costs in its international sales efforts.  General and administrative expenses
increased $2.4 million from the prior year.  This increase is primarily driven
by the Company's investment in business support software which will provide the
infrastructure for future growth.

Minority interest expense increased $3.0 million from 1996 due to the increase
in earnings at the Trus Joist MacMillan (TJM) Partnership.

FIRST TWO QUARTERS OF 1997 COMPARED WITH THE FIRST TWO QUARTERS OF 1996

Sales for the first half of 1997 increased by $81 million or 30% from the
comparable period last year. Unit volume sales growth accounted for the majority
of the increase due to increased acceptance of the Company's engineered lumber
products.

Gross margins increased from 22.7% to 27.29% between the two periods. Improved
performance at the Company's two new plants represented the majority of the
improvement.

Selling expenses increased $6.0 million or 20%.  As a percent of sales, however,
they decreased from 11.4% to 10.5% on sales.  This reflects the increased
absorption of fixed selling costs offset by an increased investment in new
product introduction and national advertising.  General and administrative
expenses increased $4.9 million.  This increase is driven primarily by the
Company's investment in business support software which will provide the
infrastructure for future growth.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

JUNE 28, 1997 COMPARED TO DECEMBER 28, 1996

Working capital increased $24 million during the first half of 1997 to $136
million.  The increase reflects the Company's seasonal investment in inventory
and receivables as the traditional building season gains full momentum. Cash
flows from operations were $60 million.

JUNE 28, 1997 COMPARED TO JUNE 29, 1996

Working capital increased $61 million from the prior year, to $136 million at
June 28, 1997.  The increase in liquidity is due to strong earnings combined
with modest capital expansion spending.

The Company announced it will begin construction of a new TJI-Registered 
Trademark- joists and Microllam-Registered Trademark-, laminated veneer 
lumber (LVL) manufacturing facility in Evergreen, Alabama.  The first phase 
of this new plant will cost approximately $45 million.  Construction is 
planned to begin late in the third quarter of 1997, after all required state 
and local permits are secured.  The plant is expected to begin manufacturing 
LVL and TJI-Registered Trademark- joists in late 1998.

The Company has begun the construction of a TimberStrand-Registered Trademark-
LSL -flange I line at its Eastern Kentucky location.  The new production
facility will allow the Company to produce traditional I-joist products, using
TimberStrand-Registered Trademark- LSL  as the top and bottom flange material.
The additional I-line will require a capital investment of approximately $20
million.  Production is expected to begin ramping up in late 1997.

In December of 1996, the Company's Board of Directors authorized the purchase of
up to $15 million of the Company's common stock at market prices. The Company
purchased $8.3 million of treasury stock during the first quarter and $6.7
million during the second quarter completing the stock repurchase program.

In the second quarter of 1996, the Company issued $5.7 million of industrial 
revenue bonds to finance construction of the Hazard, Kentucky 
TimberStrand-Registered Trademark- LSL plant.  The bonds are due in a single 
maturity in 2026, with interest payable semi-annually at 6.8 percent. In the 
second quarter of 1997, the Company issued $11.65 million of industrial 
revenue bonds associated with the construction of this plant.  The bonds are 
due in a single maturity in 2027, with interest payable semi-annually at 6.55 
percent.

The Company is evaluating potential sites for a third TimberStrand-Registered
Trademark- LSL plant but has not determined whether or when to proceed with
construction.  The Company believes that current cash balances, cash generated
from operations, and borrowing under a $150 million Revolving Credit Facility
will be sufficient to meet the on-going operating and capital expansion needs of
the Company.  The Company also believes that additional or expanded lines of
credit or appropriate long-term capital can be obtained to fund other major
capital requirements as they arise, or to fund an acquisition.

The Company sold its windows operations in 1996, however, it retained certain
liabilities related to these operations.  Management believes that existing
reserves are adequate to meet all subsequent liabilities that may arise related
to the discontinued operations.

Substantially all of the Company's operating assets are held, and revenue
generated, by its TJM partnership.  The partnership regularly distributes cash
to the partners to fund the tax liabilities generated by the partnership at the
corporate level.  All other distributions of cash by the partnership are
dependent on the affirmative votes of the representatives of the minority
partner.  Accordingly, there can be no assurance that such distributions will be
approved and thereby be available for the payment of dividends or to fund other
operations of the Company.

INDUSTRY, COMPETITION, AND CYCLICALITY

The Company's engineered lumber products continue to gain market acceptance as
high-quality alternatives to traditional solid-sawn lumber products.  Through
the Company's intensive marketing efforts, builders and other wood users are
increasingly recognizing the consistent quality, superior strength, lighter
weight, and ease of installation of engineered lumber products.  The Company
believes that this trend will continue well into the future.

No other company possesses the range of engineered lumber products, the levels
of service and technical support, or the second generation technologies of

TimberStrand-Registered Trademark- LSL or Parallam-Registered Trademark- PSL.
There are, however, a number of companies, including several large forest
products companies, that now produce look-alike wood I-joist and laminated
veneer lumber products.  Several of these companies have announced capacity
expansions.  These look-alike products are manufactured using processes similar
to the Company's oldest generation technologies.

The Company believes its network of manufacturing plants and multiple
technologies position it as the low-cost producer of engineered lumber.  While
competition helps expand the market for engineered wood products, including
those manufactured by the Company, it may also make the existing markets more
price competitive.  Traditional wide-dimension lumber, however, remains the
predominant structural framing material used in residential construction and is
the primary competitor of the Company's products.  Commodity lumber prices
historically have been subject to high volatility, and during periods of
significant lumber price movements the Company's prices have trended in the same
direction.

The Company's operations are strongly influenced by the cyclicality and
seasonality of residential housing construction.  This industry experiences
fluctuations resulting from a number of factors, including the state of the
economy, consumer confidence, credit availability, interest rates, and weather
patterns. Consistent with the seasonal pattern of the construction industry as a
whole, the Company's sales have historically tended to be lowest in the first
and fourth quarters and highest in the second and third quarters of each year.
